Leadership Committee
Dennis
Dennis brought up the make up of our Leadership team and feels we need to encourage some more members of the special education staff. The group was in agreement that it is a good idea and our goal should be to make our group a good representation of our entire staff. Jeff recommended that the Special Education group should talk about this at our November meeting. Stephanie encouraged everyone to talk with their peers across the state and see how they do their all staff days.

Patty will email Beth and see if she can connect with the Principals and or the Superintendents to explain this in more detail.
